Landmarks of Twentieth-century Design: An Illustrated HandbookThis book "presents the first thorough analysis of our century's design milestones. Many of the 400 choices presented here are the familiar icons of design - Tiffany's Cobweb lamp, Mies's Barcelona chair, Loewy's Lucky Strike package, Sony's Walkman - while the influence of other works has been more subtle. But taken together these remarkable and often revolutionary objects represent the high points of this era's design." - book jacket. |
